COMMANDER KEEN: VOLUME ONE -- "INVASION OF THE VORTICONS"
>>> Version 1.31 <<<
Published by
Apogee Software Productions
Developed and Programmed by
ID Software
Never before has the shareware market seen a game of the quality of
Commander Keen. Ultra-high speed EGA scrolling graphics and animation
at 40 frames per second! (Cartoons are animated at just 24 frames/second.)
You will need 640 RAM, with at least 530 free RAM to play Commander Keen.
In other words, don't have too many RAM resident (TSR) programs running
while you attempt to play Commander Keen. You will also need an EGA or
VGA system. CGA is not supported, sorry.
Joystick and keyboard are both supported, but not the mouse.
In some rare cases Commander Keen will detect a joystick when you really
don't have one. This might cause the joystick mode to automatically be
activated, when you really want to use the keyboard! To switch back to
keyboard control after the game begins, simply press F4, then Esc.
Apogee Software has many other exciting games, please send $6 if you would
like a sample disk of other great games. Mention disk size and the type
of graphics system (CGA, EGA or VGA) that you have.
If you notice any peculiar keyboard related problems, like a beeping
keyboard, try starting Keen with the /K option, i.e. "KEEN1 /K".
Everyone who orders Commander Keen will be notified when the all-new
256-color VGA (and EGA) Keen adventures are released. This new
Keen trilogy will have an entirely new story and much better graphics
than the current Keen trilogy. Plus it will support AdLib music!
*** Coming late 1991 ***
Thanks, and have fun with Commander Keen!
